Deference

A Poem by COLLYMORE
"

A fine line between genuine courtesy and even altruism and selfish self-interest

"

By Stanley Collymore

 

Deference is the artful means of selfishly

laying the groundwork for getting

precisely what one sets out to

by being nice or kind to

the right persons.
